John Masefield
Born in Ledbury, Herefordshire, England, Masefield apprenticed to be a merchant marine officer. While training, he became ill in Chile, returned to England, then worked in factories and bars in the United States. In 1897 he returned to England, working on newspapers and his own writing (poems, stories, and plays). Masefield published his first volume of poems in 1902. He served during World War I in the Red Cross in France and on a hospital ship at Gallipoli. His simple and moving poems include the famous Sea Fever.

Who was the poet laureate 1957?
John Masefield served as poet laureate from 1930 until his death in 1967. Masefield was initially selected as a 'safe' candidate (Kipling and Yeats - the two obvious choices in 1930 - both had political beliefs which would have been uncomfortable for the English establishment) and went on to become one of the most loved and longest-serving incumbents of the post. Since even Masefield never thought of himself as a major poet, his success as laureate perhaps says something important about the nature of the role.
